We, we, we're doing pre-quantum resilient computing c- comp- cryptography, right?

It's a weird word, and w- you and I, early on when we were talking about this before the industry had settled on a term, we kinda liked quantum resistant.

I still like quantum-resistant cryptography better, but, uh, it, it lost that war.

Take the C and change it into, what's the world gonna look like after we have a cryptographically relevant quantum computer? It's going to change civilization.
